CASE REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A REVISED FINAL PLAT FOR BASALT OFFICE 2ND ADDITION CASE OF CITY OF RAMSEY AxND BASALT PROPERTIES, LLP By: Megan Wald, Associate Planner Background: Basalt Properties LLP received final plat approval on June 22, 2004 for the creation of Basalt Office Park 2"d Addition. The approved plat created two buildable lots (4.48 acre & 3.32 acre parcels) f'rom Lot 2, Block 1, Gateway North Industrial Park No. 5. In conjunction with final plat approval, the City Council approved a site plan for each lot that will result in the construction of'office, warehouse, and light manufacturing multi-tenant .facilities. Upon further review of the site plan for Lot 1, Block 1, Basalt Office Park 2nd Addition, it came to staf?s attention that a parking lot was proposing to be located within an existing 105 fbot drainage and utility easement, which was dedicated as part of Gateway North Industrial Park No. 5. The fi)Ih)wing items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Final Plat c) Final Plat Resolution Notification: iVlinor Subdivisions are not subject to a public hearing. Observations: The original intent of the 105 foot dedicated drainage and utility easement was to encompass storm water and sewer pipes and accommodate ponding for development within Gateway North Industrial Park No. 5. Engineering staff has reviewed the ponding needs ~br the industrial park and is comfortable with a reduction in the existing easement. The revised final plat includes a drainage and utility easemem that will continue to accommodate ponding needs and a 40 foot easement that encompasses an existing stormwater pipe. It should be mentioned that a parking lot will be located within the forty lb()t drainage and utility easement, however there are several instances within the City where a parking lot is located within an easement that is being utilized for utility purposes. -207-
